I agree re Donnelly and Sylla. Donnelly was annoying me for the first 1/2 hour, he was constantly passing back to Joe - clearly shitting it to pass forward in case he gave it away but he’s there to defend primarily and he did that manfully. Sylla has looked class since the start and I’ve said many times he starts before Boateng for me, although I’d love to see them both together at the expense of Tiffoney or Costelloe. I also thing Mulligan deserves more minutes. Carson showed his worth again with one top notch save.
The ref was utter shite. Bakayoko was getting fouled all day, got nout, then slips, gets up quickly to demonstrate he’s not looking for a pen, and gets booked. Go figure.
